The first feature-length film released by Pixar while Steve Jobs was chairman was Toy Story.
Released in 1995, Toy Story was the first entirely computer-animated feature film. Pixar produced it in partnership with Walt Disney Feature Animation, and Disney distributed it internationally. The film followed the friendship and rivalry between Woody, a pull-string cowboy doll, and Buzz Lightyear, a space-themed action figure.
Steve Jobs served as Pixar’s chairman during the company’s rise from a computer-graphics operation into a major film studio. The commercial and critical success of Toy Story helped establish Pixar as a leading animation company and made its public offering in 1995 a major business story.
Toy Story is often confused with Pixar’s second feature, A Bug’s Life, released in 1998. It also differs from The Adventures of André and Wally B., an earlier Pixar short film. Toy Story was the studio’s first full-length theatrical production.
